walmart stock returning?

[millisec]

Stopped at one of the non-supercenter Waldomarts tonight when I was out. Still no 9/22 but plenty of 45, 40, misc, shotgun and probably about 60 of the 150 round Federal XM855 value packs. About the same as the closer supercenter. Just FYI I bought a box last week and despite being sold as new boxed they are all seconds. I would say the majority had dings up near neck. The case of AE223BL I got from Graf's was better quality and a little cheaper even with shipping. Oh well I still like to have some XM855 around. I'm waiting for all that mil-spec brown box 12g buckshot no one seems to be buying to go on sale.

Around here most of the LGS and big box sports blow on ammo pricing. When they get with the program I'll give them ammo business (for stuff I don't reload). Only reason I'm buying any 223 is I'm out of powder. Primers, bullets, brass but no stinking powder just yet. 9mm I'm almost out of bullets. Its just an undeniable fact Walmart is the biggest seller of ammo in US. More power to them... better pricing at more locations than you would otherwise be able to find ammo.

THE, WM I frequent the most here-had about 40 boxes short--on the shelf on Sat--dont know if its still there since I have not been there since-but like you---I have not seen any on the shelf in years. I almost picked up a few as an oddity--but decided to pass.

I went back today and bought 3 50rnd boxes of 22 short.

Not sure what I'll do with them, but figured I get them for the novelty before they go the way of the Dodo.

The Walmart guy made a big deal of pointing out they were 22 short and I couldn't bring them back if I found they wouldn't work in my gun.

But I have a model 63 so I know they will work.

Well if you want to get rid of a box of 22shorts ill buy one off you so i can keep it on my shelp next to the 2mm pinfire rounds i also kept.

I dont know if anyone else does this but i keep 3-5 shells of every different ammo i buy and puttem in a organizer wall shelf/bin. Ive got all kinds of odd and crazy ammo that i display when i show of my show peices

 

[RussellD]

Went to Walmart on Monday of this week. I almost fainted when I saw .22LR on the shelf. So I bought three boxes and left happy.

 

[Fkimble]

They must of got a lot of that 22 short stuff. My local WM has lots of it also. Seems strange the manufacturer would even be running shorts the way things have been recently.

 

[raymo2u]

Just got back from WM seems they just got over 10k of CCI standard velocity 22lr at the display and the lady said theres more out back, i cant see why my Walmarts still has a 3box limit when there hasnt been anything empty in months. The price of a box was 3.47 per 50

 

[AJMBLAZER]

The one by me got a pile like that several weeks ago. Was gone in two days but I got six boxes.

I'm getting the impression that they way the ammo manufacturers work is to switch their production line over to some type of ammo, and then make a ton of it, and then switch to something else and not switch back until whatever they have just made sells out even if it takes a year.

Probably when Homeland Security announced purchasing a billion rounds of 40 cal, a bunch of ammo manufacturers switched most/all of their production to 40 cal.

That may explain why 40 cal has remained available while most everything else was hard to find for over a year.

Maybe the ammo companies are finally getting past the 40 cal market and back to other stuff.

We can hope, anyway.

I'm still not seeing the flood gates opening. Last two times I was at wally world they had exactly two value packs of win white box at $45 a box. Used to be about 67 bucks cheaper. Last week two value packs of 40S&W they were a little cheaper. Some remington rifle ammo. Guy shows up looking for 12 guage slugs none to be had. Still 3 box limit. Even saw two 50 round boxes of PPU serbian made 45acp. Last two on the rack. Frank

Wow sorry to hear that, you know the funny thing is that walmart app everyone in the other thread is using and having results with? My walmart has just about every box of every ammo and brand but on the site and app every single thing says out of stock or availability unknown....i know its all there though, i wish my walmart would do a charity for your guy's wallyworlds

 

[1911 45]

I've learned one thing about the Wallmart app if it says availability unknown it usually means it's in stock. At least in my area.

 

[raymo2u]

Well it says that for the federal 9mm hydrashoks but ive been there yesterday and this morning and there hasnt been any in. But i will keep checking as thats the only one i actually need to check off the stockpile list

I almost bought a few but, in the end, could not justify it since I dont have anything to feed them to.

I made a trip to my local Walmart "Tumwater Wa" this morning. I few months ago it seemed like inventory was returning and you actually had choices on some calibers. My last few drips have been total busts. Today the only pistol ammo in the case was .40 and .25 and just a couple boxes of each. I guess it is starting over again or never really ended?

 

[Guitarmageddon]

I dont know why all you guys still DRIVE to wallmart to check ammo availability....

This is what I do on their website

I won't buy my ammo from Walmart. I know for some it's the only option or only convenient option. I like supporting my local gun shops even if I sometimes pay a small premium to do so. I also buy a lot online from gun/ammo stores as well. I want to support the industry, especially the local folks. I hate supporting a big box retailer that cares more about my $$$ than my gun rights and ability to shoot, get parts ordered, gun smithing, etc. Any time I see a local gun shop, hardware store or other local small business store close I utter a little profanity toward Walmart and the whole concept of made in China goods replacing our manufacturing base and locally owned businesses. I miss my local hardware store that had free coffee every morning and great chat with all the old timers in overalls the most.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

All I know is that in Northern Michigan and Central Kentucky the local gun shops were ridiculous compared to Walmart and the other big box ammo retailers. Same box of ammo was for or five dollars or more at the local place and at Walmart.

About two months ago, my closest LGS had the 100 rd WWB box of .45 ACP FMJ for $62.99. Last time I bought it at Walmart, it was $39.97. That difference is absolutely ridiculous. IIRC, my Bass Pro Shop was usually about $8 more per 100 rd of WWB .40 FMJ.
